Has anyone used construction paper as a bedding for corn snakes. It's inexpensive and doesn't look bad like newspaper.

I've never used construction paper as a substrate for corns but I use dimpled craft paper for my adult BRB's and will probably use it for my corns when they are in enclosures too big for the paper towels. Dimpled Craft Paper is textured and holds up tp humidity and traffic well but you will still want a couple of layers of newspaper under it for absorption if there is alot of humidity/water spillage.

wet construction paper leaves dye behind

I meant construction paper used on construction jobs to protect the floors.

...that may be similar to the dimpled craft paper I was mentioning. It's very tough, does not dye when wet, and if the dimpled variety it still has traction for the snakes comfort. It's a light brown/dark tan color.

Yes it is very tough. Has to stand up to muddy construction workers boots and not rip or tear or lose traction. So do you think it's a good idea to try it?
